The next morning, Tanaka wakes up to find that his house is still not ready for breakfast. When he asks why, she tells him that it's because he hasn't gotten up yet. When she asks him why, he tells her that he's already subdued the demon that's been making trouble at his house. He also tells her about the rumors about the Onmyoji coming from the famous Tsurusaki family. He says that the rumors were all lies, and that he doesn't have the right to judge whether or not they were true. He asks her to forgive him for the lie, but she refuses, saying that the barrier has already been destroyed
